Regex exclude letter

Question

I have regex pattern (^\w+\W\w+) which parse string such like:

in-package :presenter-domain
test-re :type string :display ""
name-de :type string :display ""

How to exclude variants when word starting with letter i.

I tried something like [^i] but it does not work.

Answer 1

You need to use a negative lookahead:

(?!i)(^\w+\W\w+)
